I'm actually fine with the "hybrid" species rules found in Tasha's and the playtest, although it could certainly use some refinement. The poll options aren't particularly meaningful, I think.I don't think the popularity of half-elves on BG3 is going to move the needle. WotC wants to win new fans and keep old fans and also avoid the press it has gotten about the embedded racism in the game. Whatever solution they come up with isn't going to make everyone happy, but they have to move forward in some way.Again, we'll have to wait and see, but . . . I'm 99% sure that half species as distinct player options are gone. And I'm 100% supportive of that move. An overly crunchy or complicated system for determining mixed ancestry is something I DON'T want to see in the official books, something like Grazilaxx's Guide to Ancestry over on the DM's Guild. It's too much and unnecessary. Having clear guidelines to create a human with elven parents is all I need, even if it's just, "Play an elf and say that you're mom is a human".Again, no matter which direction WotC goes, there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth on the internet. I'm not worried. Not worried about the company, the game, or my enjoyment of it. Ultimately, if I'm not happy with how WotC handles mixed ancestry, I can house rule my own system or pick something up on DriveThru or DM'sGuild.</blockquote>
